She looks like she's been lost for a while. NOT MICROCHIPPED. Long tail. Silver Black and Tan. Very friendly. *SADIE* what we named her is now at Baltimore County Animal Services. Put on a 4 day hold to locate owners, then will be available for adoption! I know she has an owner out there. So please find this baby's mom and dad!

We know how much you love your Patch Pet, even his mischievous side. On those days that he feels especially rascally, he can sometimes get into trouble.

Whether a snowstorm builds the perfect escape ramp over the fence in your backyard, or your pup gives you the slip through a loose leash, Patch Pets are constantly getting themselves lost.

Don’t worry! They’re getting themselves found, too.

The American Pet Products Association estimates that Americans own 70 to 80 million dogs and 74 to 96 million cats. That’s a lot of furry friends to keep track off.

And according to the ASPCA, about 649,000 animals who are brought to shelters as strays are returned to their owners each year. We can help raise that number by ensuring our Patch Pets make it home safe.
